On tap at the Brick Alley Pub Newport, RI. Has a golden/amber color with some carbonation and a small white head. Smell is of hops. Taste is lightly malted medium bodied and finishes with a crisp hop bitterness. Overall a pretty good IPA.

Art of Beer Fest ’04. Light golden in color with a small white head. Citrus nose and malt. Malty palate and with nice hop bite.

Nice English style IPA, with a solid maltiness taking precedence over a pleasant Cascade background. Drinkable and enjoyable.

(Bottle) Pours a large, white head and a golden body. Nose of pink grapefruit, hops and orange. The hop flavours are slightly spiced with a mellow hop finish. Above average. Thanks DYC!

Pink grapefruit mist rising over grassy bitterness...Honey diluted by the fizziness and ailing body...Citrus juice tries to comeback but lacks the energy to do it well...

Orange/grapefruit citrus hoppiness in the nose. Slight haze, straw coloured with pillowy white large bubbled head. Slightly phenolic flavour. Hops apparent but malt character is subdued. Mouthfeel is smooth and easy. Fairly simple and a bit plain. Bottle (thanks Muzzlehatch - proud to be one of them Canucks).

Bottle, shared with a bunch Canucks after TAP NY. Big fluffy head, grapefruity-bublegummy nose; slightly medicinal, spicy, very light and malty-sweet. Seems a mix of things that don't quite gel for me.

Smells yummy. Yeasts, floral notes, and citrus notes as well. Pours a hazy orangish color with a nice frothy off-white head. Lots of carbonation in the start. Hoppy and bitter in the end. Just doesnt seem "right". I dont know, this one is off.
